My Review: First, I would like to say that if you are reading this then you are as new to my blog as I am to blogging. And I want to thank you for visiting this page. Especially in celebrating Roni O’Connell’s NEW RELEASE, Inside Phoenix! Secondly, I want to say that I am very familiar with Roni’s YA books and can easily say that she is one of my very favorite authors. Once I found out that Inside Phoenix was going to be coming out AND that it would be geared for reader’s 18+, I got nervous. Why? Well I have never been a fan of sex scenes in books I read. The occasional tame scene I can handle, but when every other scene is sex it takes me away from the plot. BUT and this is a big but….once I started reading Inside Phoenix I realized that this book was just like everything Roni writes….PERFECTION! I will not be giving spoilers because that is not the kind of reviews I like to write or to read. There is sex and it is very important to the plot and it was incorporated in a way that flowed so effortlessly that I never got bored or distracted from the rest of the story. And let me tell you, the entire book from beginning to end had me hanging on every page. I love shifter novels and mysteries and thrillers….this was all of that wrapped in a gorgeous cover too. I loved this book and I recommend it to anyone looking for a hot read with an extrodinary storyline. This book had me guessing until the end and I really hope that we might get more books from the supporting characters in the future…maybe a start to an amazing series? One can only hope!

As far back as I can remember, I have always got the warm and fuzzies anytime I received a new book. I would spend hours in the company of characters that I found within the pages of each new and promising adventure. To this day, I still get those pangs of anticipation. An escape, a guilty pleasure, or just a fascination with how these masterpieces are created in minds of some of the most talented people to exist. What about trips into outer space and all the amazing technological advancements that have been made? Well I think I am just one of those people that would rather stick their nose in a book and allow what an author has created to come to life in my own imagination. It took years to realize that I am a book addict. There it has been said and not to be taken back. I love the feel of a hard or paperback book in my hands. The swishing sound it makes as I fan through the pages before I settle in to lose myself once again. Mind you, I realize having an addiction of any kind sounds series, but I am rather proud of my insatiable need for books, filled with chapters, full of words that all come together to whisk my mind away from my everyday existence in the mundane life most of us find ourselves living. So as for me….I will not be attending any AA meetings. I will however be ordering some more bookshelves. Until next time!

Happy reading! Always!

Well, I’ve done it. I have taken my first step in getting my opinion out into the world! My love for books is infinite. Books are what sweep me away from the harsh realities of today’s world and place me in whatever setting I choose. What could possibly be better than a BOOK?! Besides actually living the stories…..but we won’t go there. My purpose for doing this blog is to just share my love of books and the intelligent minds that construct such intricate art and review books so I can give you my ever so important view…that last part is yet to be seen. Soooo, I hope you will stop by from time to time and read about the drama I find between the pages of whatever lands in my hands! See you soon!
